(including Jim Sheridan's 'In America), to string
arrangements for rock bands, from scores for theatre
musicals, television themes and pop song writing to
arranging for big bands and playing the hottest jazz
piano. Brian Byrne is one of Ireland's most versatile
musicians and composers.

gorgeously understated vocals.
